Completed Paid on delivery

Hello Coders,

We want to control the number of instances of our application in a local network. That is, for example we want that our application can only be launched in 2? computers in a LAN at? a time.

So, we put and RUN our application in a server machine and other computers on the network can see and launch our application. If more than X computers launch our application, it will refuse to run.

So, we need a library or test example that makes all that work using Server Message Blocks. So, we run our application on a server and it creates a thread that is "listenning" when another instance of our application is launched in another machine.

When a PC on the LAN launches our application, the instance will contact with our application instance on the server (via TCP/IP protocol or network messages) and will check if the server instance gives access to keep running or not our application in the network PC.

Requeriments

-----------------

1) Solution must be coded in Visual Studio 2005 in "C language"

2) Only standard windows libraries can be used. No third party components allowed

3) Communication between LAN PCs must be? via TCP/IP (no shared files communication allowed)

In case that you have any questions, feel free to ASK!

Thanks!
